Getting Ready to Play
Turn your globe unit on by pressing the ON/OFF button. You will hear a
musical salute, the lights will flash, and a voice will welcome you to the
GeoSafari Globe Quiz.
Quick Start Game
You can start a 1-player game containing 10 questions about the world,
USA, and Canada by simply pressing the GO key. The unit will respond,
“ OK, we’re all set. Press GO to begin the game.” Just press GO again and
you’re ready to play.
How to Customize a Game
You can choose the content of your game questions (world and
USA/Canada questions, world only, or USA/Canada only), number of
players (1 to 4), and answer response times (20, 40, 60, or 120 seconds).
Just listen to the voice, press the flashing lights to make your choices, and
then press GO. Here’s how:
Selecting Content of Questions
After the greeting, you will be asked to “Choose your questions.”
•Press 1 to select a combination of world and USA/Canada questions.
•Press 2 to select only world questions.
•Press 3 to select only USA/Canada questions.
Note: You will have approximately 5 seconds to make your choice. If you
don’t make a selection within that time, the game defaults to world,
USA, and Cananda questions. If the GO key is pressed after entering the
content of questions, the game will begin with a 1-player game with a
40-second answer response time.
Selecting Number of Players
After a few seconds, you will be asked to “Choose the number of players
in today’s game.” Press the flashing key showing the number of players in
your game. You may select 1, 2, 3, or 4 players per game.
Note: If the GO key is pressed after entering the number of players, the game
will begin with a 40-second answer response time. Each player will have
10 questions to answer. If no key is pressed for 20 seconds, the unit will alert
the players and then repeat the last spoken instruction. If you need additional
help with a step, press the HELP key to hear the instruction again.
Setting Answer Response Times
The unit will ask you to choose answer times for each player.
1. Each player can choose an answer response time that fits their skill
level. This allows beginner players more time to answer questions.
Key Answer Response Time
1 20 seconds
2 40 seconds
3 60 seconds
4 120 seconds
Note: If no key is pressed for 30 seconds, the unit will remind you that it is
waiting for you to respond. After another waiting period, the unit will beep
at periodic intervals until it reaches the 2-minute shutdown time. The unit is
designed to shut down after this time in order to conserve battery power.
Once the game content, number of players, and answer response times
have been chosen for all players, press GO to begin the game. At any
time, pressing GO will start the game with the previously programmed
information.
Playing a Game
1. Player 1 starts the game by pressing GO.
2. The first question is read and the answer keys light as the
corresponding answer choices are read.
•If a clue is available for that question, the HELP key light will flash as
soon as the question has been read. If no clue is available, the HELP
key light will not flash, and pressing HELP will cause an error tone.
NOTE: Pressing HELP will not stop the clock from counting down your chosen
response time, so listening to a clue does take up some of your response time.
•Pressing the REPEAT key enables you to listen to the questions and
the answer choices again.
NOTE: If the REPEAT key is pressed in the last 5 seconds of the clock’s
countdown, you will hear an error tone. Pressing REPEAT does stop the
clock, and will not take up any of your response time.
